Questão jurídica principal
Whether the victim had standing to file the public-law appeal against the acquittal
Decisão extraída
He could not rely on arbitrariness arguments against the acquittal because, without substantive civil claims, he lacked standing under Art. 88 OJ and Art. 8 LAVI.
Fundamentação extraída
A crime victim may challenge only procedural violations protecting his own rights; to attack an acquittal he must have participated earlier and asserted civil claims on the merits, unless such claims could not reasonably be quantified. Here he merely reserved civil rights and gave no reason for omitting substantive claims.
